Dumisani Hlophe a puzzling choice as SABC Political Editor
Note to Editors: Please find attached a soundbite in English by DA Shadow Minister of Communications, Phumzile Van Damme MP.
The South African Broadcasting Corporation’s (SABC) decision to appoint Dumisani Hlophe as its Political Editor: News and Current Affairs is deeply puzzling and worrying.
Mr. Hlophe is not a practicing journalist, his only experience with broadcasting is as a “political analyst” on the SABC with “commentary” often odd and thumb-sucked.
There are many talented practicing journalists the SABC could have chosen from, who would have been a far better choice.
Mr. Hlophe does not inspire confidence at all. He is bad news.
